A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic to a targeted server, service, or network by overwhelming it with a flood of internet traffic.
DDoS attackers are exploiting the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), an internet routing protocol first defined in the 1980s, to launch devastating and widespread attacks on networks and services.
The BGP protocol lacks built-in security measures, making it prone to various attacks, including route hijacking, traffic interception, and DDoS attacks.
DDoS attackers can manipulate BGP routing tables to reroute traffic, causing network congestion and overwhelming targeted servers and services with malicious traffic.
BGP-based DDoS attacks can lead to service outages, loss of revenue, reputational damage, and potential data breaches for targeted organizations and services.
Organizations can implement secure BGP routing configurations, use DDoS mitigation services, monitor traffic patterns for anomalies, and collaborate with ISPs to enhance network security against BGP-based DDoS attacks.
Researchers can work on developing advanced anomaly detection algorithms, secure routing protocols, threat intelligence sharing mechanisms, and real-time mitigation strategies to combat BGP-based DDoS attacks effectively.
